Learn How Individuals Develop, Function and Change

Our Psychology program is growing fast! There is so much to explore in this diverse field that ranges from the study of microscopic brain cells to how groups influence our thoughts and behaviours. You will have the chance to learn about the process of scientific discovery in terms of how research is actually done and how research findings are applied in the real world. We will journey together as you learn more about yourself and others from a psychological perspective and how this can be infused with Christian values. As you learn about yourself and others, together we will cultivate a Christ-like commitment to the common good and respect for human life.

If you are interested in how humans develop from the womb to old age, why you believe what you believe, the impact of stress on mental well-being, or how psychology intersects with the criminal justice system, then this is the program for you!
